I've started to take this away into my own style now. I've switched the piano for two guitars, dropped the percussion (for now) and extended the piece with a 3rd verse variation. It is still a bit rough. The guitars in particular need to be aligned a bit better in places, and I might change them a bit more to give greater seperation. As usual comments are welcome. <edit> Oh dear, cold light of dawn  Using guitar definitely does not work. It completely fails the 'Next Room' test (where I literally walk into an adjacent room) and just sounds muddled. I will have to think of something else! |

If you have a poem, I have a tune, and we exchange these, we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.

Update!
I've replaced the file with a version that has the extension but no guitar or drums.
Ideas welcome

 Once again, this is a beautiful piece, in my view. If you wish to elaborate on this by adding 'real' guitar, and anything else that fits, I would be most happy to take a 'collab' for this one.......maybe for the next Kara-Moon CD ? It is certainly the sort of composition that 'grabs me by the lugs' as we geordies say!! Let me know......I'll be happy to oblige, Will.  James

I think I know what could make this song better....
The melody is a bot too syncopated and laks fluidity. I think it would gain a lot from been plaid by a windcontroller.
Do you have a score for the melody (or a midi file)?
I could ask Azell to play it on here windcontroller
Just an idea

Not sure how the best way is to go about that. I could probably put a wav or flac file on my website if you want the highest quality base recording, but see Kara's post too! |

That sounds an interesting idea. MIDI would be the way I would have to go. Would you want a midi file of just the melody, or the whole piece? It is actually only 6 tracks! I could also let you have the ZynAddSubFX parameter file if you wanted to do a whole reconstruction. |

I would be interested.....when you think that you have a finished 'length' of piece, just send a wav or mp3 file and I will put it in Reaper and just 'noodle' round it. If anything good comes out I can send you the 'good' files for you to remix......or I can ask you for better individual files...... take it as it comes? James |

Can you post a mp3 mix without the melody & the midi file.
That way I can print the score for Azell and ask here to play the melody
James could then add a counter melody with his flute
Sound like a good plan, what do you think ?
James ok ?

As a ... duh! Thanks for opening .mid I've attached it now. The melody starts at bar 9. Not quite sure what the Rosegarden -> MIDI conversion will think of 8 bars of silence! P.S. Without the melody on top I think I hear a couple of suspects chords in the last verse |
